Local Colorado Glass Blower Creates Ventilator Splitters For Hospitals
“People are not taking this seriously enough”
People across the country and in Colorado are burning the midnight oil by coming up with creative ways to help solve the country’s ventilator shortage.
It’s a problem being felt by hospitals across the United States.
“People are not taking this seriously enough,” said Joshua McMenamin of Orbital Glass.
McMenamin is a glass blowing artist from Boulder.
He stumbled upon an idea that originated in a 2006 medical study, where you can create a splitter that will turn a single ventilator system into a system that helps four people instead of one.
“There are people doing this all over the world,” McMenamin said.
The controversial idea should only be used in emergency situations, according to the study’s co-author.
